Re: Missing QSOs

 

开云体育

Agreed.? But my point is that if it were a flaw in Scott’s program, there would be several reports or more by now.? What we are seeing here is a single instance of a problem.? Simple logic says this is not an N3FJP program problem, it is a Fred’s computer alone problem.

It doesn’t help you fix the problem.? But at least it will keep you from wrongly fixing the blame.? Or are you insisting that Scott’s program did this to your computer alone out of the thousands using AC-Log?

To err is human.? To really foul it up takes a computer.

Hi Fred,

?

Thanks for your follow up.? I'm sorry that you are still having trouble.? Losing log data on an update is obviously not typical.? Your log data is not touched during an update, so something else is at play.

?

There isn't anything difficult in any of the recovery methods I referenced in my previous reply, so choose the one easiest for you, provided it has the most current data.??

?

If your LoTW uploads are current, doing an All Since download from AC Log's LoTW form dated to 1/1/2024 is probably the easiest.? It may take a while to complete depending on the number of records and how busy the LoTW server is, but just let the program run while you are doing something else and it will finish.

?

Enjoy!

Re: Missing QSOs

Fred W3ICM
 

Thank you Mike.

I upload daily to ClubLog and LoTW, sometimes several times during the day, depending on the number of QSOs,?and when I work a DXpedition where I want to see an immediate?match on ClubLog, e.g., VU4AX.

But ACL is my QSO record. ?I am into the DX Marathon Challenge, an annual competition so I need accurate data.?The ACL Awards feature provides?the annual data on the number of countries and zones in each band. Very helpful. ?But it’s useless if many QSOs are missing.

The DX Marathon Challenge (this is not the ARRL Challenge)?requires that I upload my 2025 QSOs to their website at the end of the year. ?Thus it’s critical that I have all of my 2025?data.

The ACL record also helps me to avoid duplicating past QSOs.

I didn’t know that I had missing QSO data until I was going to QSO CP6UA on 40 meters. I wanted to check past QSOs because I didn’t want to waste my time with another QSO. ?So I entered the call into the call slot that results in a record of the past QSOs. ?I knew that I had a
?QSO with him on 10 meters earlier this year. The 10 meter QSO did not show up, leading me to investigate further, discovering that all of my?2025 QSOs disappeared. ?AND manyM?QSOs from 2024 are gone.?

QSOs should NEVER disappear from a software update.

Some spotting networks are now requiring you to be a registered user or even have a password to log in to make spots. Maybe that had something to do with it. The two nodes I use now require it and one even requires a login password.

Re: WI QSO Party

 

Echoing other's comments ..... I participated in the Wisconsin QSO Party (in-state).
?
I worked one mobile rover 5 times during the day.? Four of those were on the same Band.? He was roving through various Counties and apparently could hear me pretty well.
?
The software (using Super Check Partial) will complain and warn you when entering a previously worked Call.?
But once the new County was added, it was happy.


Re: WI QSO Party

 

Thanks for the response. I will attribute the error to the interuption in connection to the 7300 that occured.? I only operated phone, but noted after the fact that some entries were noted as PHN while others were SSB. Again maybe due to the interuption.


Re: WI QSO Party

 

Hi Gary,

Thanks for your follow up.? The date and time isn't relevant for dupe checking.? The dupe checking code is identical in all our contest programs (aside from contest specific details like once per band, oncer per contest, etc.), has been used unchanged for years and does not evaluate date and time for the check.

Enjoy!

While those factors may be part of this, I am suspicous the dupe counter started over at 0000 hours.?

The event ran from March 9, 2025 from 1800Z to 0100Z March 10 (1:00PM CDT to 8:00PM CDT on March 9) spanning 2 days.? I think the program was allowing same call, same band; like POTA logging would allow same call, same park, same band, when the clock rolled over 0000. WIQP doesn't allow dupes for same call, same band for the whole period of the event at least as I see it in the rules.?

I did have a period? when the program lost contact with the 7300 and I restarted the radio to recover, but I do not think I was not seeing dupe flags after that. So I can not speak with certainty.? My point is if the clock can reset the dupe counter, it should not for the WIQP.
Regardless the event is already over?

Scott.? Again thanks.? I just took the easy road out and deselected “display digital modes”.? Only problem is occasionally I like to work RTTY but no big deal.

Thanks,

Hi Pat,

?

Thanks for your follow up.? Keep in mind that support files, including the band plan file, also are updated each time Jim does a country update release, so if you modify the file in other ways, keep a backup and replace the update each time, or you will lose your modifications.

?

Also keep in mind you can choose not to display digital modes by deselecting this option here:

Hi Scott.? So if you edit this file you can remove any trace of FT65, FT8, FT4 etc.? That is really cool.? Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Hi Dave,

?

Thanks for? your e-mail.? 2012 is the last time that license class allocations were modified.? Many of the digital modes listed in the file didn't even exist in 2012.

?

That said, I'm sure the digital ranges could use some modification.? If anyone here who is very active in multiple digital modes has the time and opportunity to recommend any needed updates, we would sure appreciate it!

Here is the digital portion of the bandplan.txt file that would be updated:
